This is an online journal of our education journey. We like to read living books, do lapbooks, projects, and unit studies. We go on educational trips and get together with other families for different clubs.

Not Back To School

We have been busily working on various educational things these past few weeks, but yesterday we took advantage of a day away. We went by train to Huddersfield which is not too far from where we live.

The home educators there were having a 'Not Back To School Picnic' at Greenhead Park so we went and had a great social time. I met a couple of my 'Facebook Friends' in person and that was very nice. I also met new families who were just starting out with home educating their children.

It was a lovely train ride, a lovely day out and about and it was also a day of fantastic company. I really like Huddersfield and think I may go back there again and explore. Greenhead Park is beautiful and I like the character of Huddersfield, well, the bit of it that I saw anyway :-)

Next week L will be starting back to her drama group and I will be taking M out and exploring the environs rather than staying. Some weeks we will stay and chat with the other mums but right now it is warm-ish so we can go and wander around outside.

Hopefully there won't be any liquid sunshine, as they call it in Leek, on those days.
